IDENTIFYING SCAMMERS The most recent scams are coming from individuals who claim to be members of the U.S. Armed forces in Iraq, and who are asking for your financial assistance. Don't reply to these messages or click any link in the message. I'm advised by staff in the Military Leadership Department (Army ROTC) that they're all scams. Forward these "suspect" emails to OCH@gw.housing.umass.edu.
